Leo Laporte
The host of This Week in Tech, MacBreak Weekly and so many more we lose count, Leo Laporte, will be the featured speaker on Thursday morning at Macworld Conference & Expo. Leo joins us on The Road to Macworld Expo to talk about why Macworld Expo week is so special from a community perspective, and developments in media creation and distribution. Leo discusses the blurring lines between audience and creator, the evolving role of feedback, and why it can be so challenging. Leo also offers perspectives on why some forms of media distribution may be over before they start, his biggest asset as a new media personality, and the responsibility that comes with visibility.
